get_teams_by_country_id

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden but only states basic purpose. It fails to disclose pagination, authentication needs, error behavior, or that results can be customized via include/select/filters parameters.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is extremely concise (single sentence). While efficient, it omits necessary details for an 8-parameter tool, making it underspecified rather than appropriately concise.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The tool has 8 parameters including pagination and includes, yet the description provides no context for these. No output schema exists. The description is too sparse to be considered complete for the tool's complexity.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all 8 parameters. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, earning the baseline score. It does not contextualize parameter relationships like include vs select.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action (Get) and resource (teams) with a scope (from a specific country). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'get_all_teams' and 'get_teams_by_season_id'. However, it uses 'all' which may be misleading due to pagination parameters.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description does not provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. No mention of when-not-to-use or naming sibling tools like 'get_all_teams' for unfiltered queries.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
